police
      tried
      to
      speak.
      He
      is
      a
      major
      component
      in
      the
      rape
     
     
      crisis
      and
      he
      was
      cut
      off.
      I
      can’t
      fail
      to
      mention
      poor
      Mr.
     
     
      Pineau.
      He
      looked
      like
      he
      was
      about
      to
      have
      a
      heart
      attack.
      I
     
     
      was
      upset
      when
      he
      tried
      to
      speak.
      I
      wanted
      to
      leave
      the
      rally,
     
     
      but
      there
      was
      ‘‘no
      way’’
      out
      of
      there.
      The
      students
      showed
     
     
      him
      no
      support
      or
      caring
      at
      all.
      He
      was
      only,
      and
      is
      only,
     
     
      doing
      his
      job.
      Professionally,
      he
      is
      not
      able
      to
      call
      the
      rape
      a
     
     
      rape
      until
      it
      is
      confirmed
      as
      one
      on
      a
      court
      of
      law.
      Give
      the
     
     
      mana
      ‘‘break.”’
     
    
   
   
    
     
      To
      sum
      up,the
      Rally
      was
      run
      unprofessionally
      and
      irration-
     
     
      ally.
      If
      women
      plan
      to
      rise
      up
      they
      should
      do
      it
      with
      dignity
     
     
      and
      grace,
      setting
      a
      good
      example
      for
      human
      kind.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Dear
      Editor,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      This
      letter
      is
      in
      response
      to
      the
      cowardly
      actions
      of
      those
     
     
      involved
      in
      the
      sexual
      assault
      which
      took
      place
      on
      the
      UPEI
     
     
      campus
      September
      23rd,
      1992.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      would
      therefore
      like
      to
      say
      to
      those
      person(s)
      involved:
     
    

    
     
      I
      do
      not
      know
      who
      youare,
      nor
      does
      the
      majority
      of
      the
      UPEI
     
     
      student
      body,
      but
      ‘*
      You
      know
      who
      youare!”’
      and
      that’s
      all
     
     
      that
      matters
      because
      it
      will
      rot
      through
      your
      bones
      until
      you
     
     
      finally
      realize
      you
      must
      tell
      someone
      before
      it
      drives
      you
     
     
      crazy.
      Not
      a
      day
      will
      pass
      that
      I
      will
      not
      think
      of
      you
      and
     
     
      wish
      you
      pain
      and
      agony
      throughout
      your
      days,
      until
      you
     
     
      come
      forward
      and
      admit
      to
      your
      horrendous
      act.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Also,
      I
      would
      like
      to
      let
      the
      victim
      know
      that
      my
      heart
      goes
     
     
      out
      to
      her
      for
      her
      strength
      and
      courage.
      You
      are
      inmy
     
     
      prayers.

      Dear
      Editor,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      This
      weekend
      while
      at
      the
      university
      I
      was
      made
      aware
      of
      a
     
     
      petition
      being
      circulated
      supporting
      the
      impeachment
      of
      our
     
     
      Student
      Council
      president,
      Tracy
      Arsenault.
      The
      petition
     
     
      asks
      for
      support
      on
      the
      basis
      that
      Ms.
      Arsenault
      misrepre-
     
     
      sented
      them
      with
      regards
      to
      the
      alleged
      sexual
      assault
      case
     
     
      in
      residence.
      I
      was
      quite
      surprised
      that
      anyone
      would
      even
     
     
      consider
      signing
      this
      petition.
      I
      urge
      these
      students
      to
      stop
     
     
      the
      smear
      campaign.
      If
      the
      people
      who
      are
      behind
      this
     
     
      petition
      are
      truly
      concerned
      about
      their
      fellow
      students
      and
     
     
      particulary
      the
      safety
      of
      women
      on
      our
      campus
      they
      should
     
     
      redirect
      their
      energy
      into
      something
      positive,
      like
      helping
     
     
      the
      victim
      and
      her
      family,
      or
      something
      useful,
      like
      better
     
     
      lighting
      on
      campus
      and
      safe
      walk
      programs.
      Perhaps
      they
     
     
      could
      spend
      their
      valuable
      time
      educating
      both
      men
      and
     
     
      women
      about
      date
      and
      acquaintance
      rape,
      which
      occurs
      all
     
     
      too
      often
      and
      is
      often
      unreported.
      Making
      a
      scapegoat
      out
      of
     
     
      our
      Student
      Union
      president
      and
      others
      will
      not
      create
      a
     
     
      better
      atmosphere
      for
      students.
      It
      will
      only
      fuel
      an
      already
     
     
      tense
      and
      insecure
      feeling
      students
      have
      on
      campus.
      Before
     
     
      you
      judge
      the
      S.U.
      president
      on
      her
      actions,
      remember
      you
     
     
      have
      the
      benefit
      of
      hindsight
      and
      no
      media
      attention.

      Dear
      Editor,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      A
      great
      tragedy
      has
      befallen
      UPEI,
      one
      that
      has
      altered
     
     
      forever
      the
      life
      of
      one
      of
      us.
      It
      would
      be
      tragic
      on
      its
      own,
     
     
      but
      it
      is
      even
      more
      tragic
      that
      this
      is
      not
      an
      isolated
      incident
     
     
      in
      our
      society.
      I
      would
      like
      to
      offer
      some
      constructive
     
     
      solutions
      to
      the
      problem
      in
      general:
      One
      part
      of
      the
      solution
     
     
      is
      to
      create
      an
      environment
      in
      which
      both
      genders
      are
     
     
      recognized
      as
      playing
      essential
      and
      complementary
      roles
      in
     
     
      society.
      Vaughn
      Jelliffe
      commented
      to
      the
      newspaper
      that
     
     
      this
      type
      of
      incident
      happens
      because
      the
      prevailing
      attitude
     
     
      in
      society
      is
      hatred
      toward
      women.
      I
      resent
      that
      remark,
      not
     
     
      simply
      because
      it
      is
      exaggerated,
      but
      because
      the
      radical
     
     
      feminist
      movement
      is
      in
      part
      RESPONSIBLE
      for
      the
      very
     
     
      climate
      Jelliffe
      protests.
      It
      is
      asserted
      by
      radical
      feminism
     
     
      that
      the
      role
      of
      men
      in
      society
      is
      not
      necessary,
      and
      that
      the
     
     
      very
      presence
      of
      men
      is
      of
      dubious
      value.
      In
      other
      words,
     
     
      men
      are
      neither
      needed
      nor
      necessarily
      wanted!
      The
      restruc-
     
     
      turing
      of
      society
      according
      to
      feminist
      goals,
      then,
      includes
     
     
      stripping
      men
      of
      any
      exclusive
      contribution
      to
      society.
     
     
      According
      to
      George
      Gilder,
      author
      of
      Men
      and
      Marriage,
     
     
      sociological
      and
      anthropological
      studies
      have
      shown
      that
     
     
      when
      men
      are
      not
      permitted
      a
      constructive
      role
      in
      society,
     
     
      they
      will
      adopt
      a
      destructive
      attitude
      toward
      society,
      ex-
     
     
      pressed
      in
      violent
      or
      otherwise
      neglectful
      behavior.
      The
     
     
      object
      of
      the
      violence
      would
      logically
      be
      those
      who
      are
     
     
      perceived
      as
      the
      threat--women,
      particularly
      those
      who
      are
     
     
      seen
      as
      usurping
      men’s
      position
      in
      society.
      This
      reaction
      is
     
     
      unacceptable,
      but
      it
      is
      occurring.
      The
      solution
      is
      not
      to
     
     
      further
      alienate
      or
      remove
      men
      from
      society,
      as
      radical
     
     
      feminism
      would
      propose,
      but
      to
      demand
      of
      men
      that
      they
     
     
      play
      a
      constructive
      role
      in
      society.
      Women
      must
      not
      accept
     
     
      violence
      or
      neglect,
      but
      must
      demand
      that
      men
      protect
      and
     
     
      provide
      for
      them
      --
      not
      because
      they
      are
      incapable
      of
      provid-
     
     
      ing
      for
      themselves
      or
      protecting
      themselves,
      but
      because
     
     
      men
      will
      either
      support
      society
      or
      tear
      it
      down.
      Those
      are
     
     
      the
      only
      two
      options!
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      second
      solution
      is
      the
      whatever
